I don't understand the TCU hype AT ALL.AR-Pine Bluff with an 11pt halftime lead at #14 TCU.
Lots of noise early on. Usually anything before they drop preseason predictions (mid Dec?) is best with a grain of salt.I have to imagine KenPom can't be too accurate trying to predict anything BEFORE any games are played, right?
B1G without a team in the AP top 10 for first time in 45 years.

Based on their multiple early exits from the tourney in recent years could argue that they have been overrated.
So we are in agreement.Okay, I'll argue with you on that one.
They're overated.
Your turn.
So we are in agreement.
Just looking at some recent years, and just going by memory, there have been some years when we have seen 6-7 B1G teams exit the tourney in the first couple rounds including multiple teams losing to lower seeded opponents.
A lot of B1G teams pile up wins in the OOC part of the schedule against teams from significantly lesser conferences (MAC, Horizon, Missouri Valley) then get credit from the voters in conference because they are beating "winning" teams.
All of the major conference teams play their share of record padding opponents but the B1G has made an art of it.
Kind of like the SEC in football.
I went back to find the graphic and was going to respond before your edit.Based on their multiple early exits from the tourney in recent years could argue that they have been overrated.
